Question 6197

When smoking, you must not throw the cigarette out the window because...

  1. at that moment the driver is holding the steering wheel with only one hand.
  2. it can bother people who do not smoke.
  3. it is prohibited and can cause a fire.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: it is prohibited and can cause a fire.

Throwing a cigarette butt out the window is prohibited because it can ignite the dry grass in the ditch, like the grass shown in the image, and cause a fire. Put it out in the car's ashtray.
